Solar energy conversion and photodynamic therapy (PDT) are very different applications. However, both utilize very similar photoactive molecules called porphyrins. Porphyrins are structural analogs of chlorophyll and also function as prosthetic gr...
Understanding exciton diffusion is a crucial step in the engineering and fabrication of organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices. We studied a variety of organic dyes in our research lab including various derivatives of carboalkoxyphenylporphyrins in so...
